To the Editor of the Nonra-Cumva Henatp.
Dear Si,—Do you not think that if the above had been more generally circu lated a much larger number of signatures could have been obtained As an old resident of seventeen years standing it would have given me much pleasure to pay this mark of respect to our worthy Consul, and there are doubtlei many others who also feel annoyed at having been debarred from signing the address.
Yours truly, Shanghai, 3rd April.
[From other representations made to us there are several residents who were anxious to sign the address but could not do #0 because they did not know where it wae to be found and "doubtless the already large number of signatures would have been considerably increased if the suggestion of our correspondent could have been carried out.—ED,]
